Right now? It’s Girl Scout cookie season man!

QOTD: I would totally have to say this chocolate Godiva soufflés that this one restaurant sells by where I work. It is AWESOME!!! Liquid hot chocolate in the center and vanilla ice cream on the side. YUM

Hi Gary,
Would you please do an Italian Sangiovese versus New World Sangiovese episode???

Anything with salted caramel. There’s a great new wine bar in central NJ called Daryl that has a chocolate tart with salted caramel. And Haagen Dazs recently started selling a fleur de sel ice cream which is really good too.

Loving the match-ups. I’d enjoy seeing you do a vertical tasting sometime – don’t know if you’ve done one recently. I got to do one at a winery visit once and it completely opened my eyes about how different two years can be on the same vineyard.

qotd: total sweet tooth. I’ve been craving really good cupcakes lately but I would have to say any kind of ice cream. lately, haagen dazs’s fleur de sel has been rocking my world.

mmmm …. QOTD of deliciousness!

Cheesecake! … BAM!!!

Btw I will definitely join up to the Mott Posse …

QOTD: anything that includes a pinch of fleur de sel!

QOTD

REAL Spumoni….with Rum, and Nuts, and candied Fruit…..tis heaven!

South American Malbec is good value, but not for very long it’s getting very popular. California grows it fairly well but interestingly enough I was passing through North Carolina and they were growing it there.

QOTD – A perfect dessert for me is some stinky cheese and a nice dessert wine.

Favorite Desert of the Moment: My homemade vanilla cupcakes “a- la Magnolia Bakery style”…mmmm, with lots of vanilla frosting. 😉

I like the haircut, by the way…now let’s see Mott’s!

So I’ve inquired about this on the forums, but no response…do you know where to find red fragolino wine (a sweet sparkling Italian wine)???? I’ve only been able to find it in a few regions of Italy. I’ve found the white version here, but the red is sooo much better! My birthday is coming up, and I’d love to have a few bottles on hand 🙂

QOTD:Chocolate Chip Cookies. the chewy kind.

Can’t say I’ve had a malbec that I liked……yet.

QOTD: my wife’s strawberry rhubarb pie.

QOTD-Cheesecake
My question for Gary would be, without cleansing your Pal with something what kind of effect does the first wine tatsed have on the second? Maybe my Pal isn’t as definitive, but it would seem, and it is with me that some of the taste of the first wine will alter the taste of the second.

ICE CREAM!

QOTD: My favorite dessert right now is Galette de Roi which is a pastry made here in the shape of a pie with almond paste and there is a little souvenir inside and the person who gets that in their piece gets to play king or queen for the day.

QOTD: Odd as it my be, I’m all about bread pudding, but I can’t say no to a whole host of other desserts!
My local wine shop had me try a malbec for the first time a couple months ago-very nice-adding it to the list!

Orange Sherbet is about the only dessert I eat regularly, also vanilla ice cream. pretty boring!

I really enjoy Malbec and have started giving bottles as gifts. Not sure that I’ve had any from the Old World, so I’ll have to rustle some of those up.

QOTD: I had my new favorite dessert on my birthday: Caramelized apples with rosemary on a toasted cornmeal poundcake slice which is then sitting atop apple butter — AWESOME!!

Favorite dessert right now…Edy’s slow-churned peanut butter cup ice cream – lights out!

I have had several Malbecs, some just OK but others have been really good for the money.
QOTD- Chocolate chip cookies ( fresh baked and still soft and gooey)

Totally agree with you GV, that Malbec under $10 (or £5/£6 for me in the UK) offers much more value than many other grapes. It was a Malbec that was the first wine that I said I REALLY liked when I got into the wine trade. (Cahors St Didier Parnac, haven’t a clue on the vintage, but I drank it in 2001).

QOTD: Home made Vanilla Rice Pudding, made like a sweet risotto with milk, sugar, cream and vanilla pods…I’m SO hungry now…

these days, I am down with a nice piece of French Silk pie.

Nice episode format, I would like to see this format maybe once a week?

I recently had a Argentine Malbec from Budini it was very good for $11… Anyway QOTD I am love just a piece of dark chocolate…

qotd: my favorite dessert is souffle…i love desserts!
